CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 38: LOSING THE CHILD_2

But she only learned a few days ago that when he truly wanted to send flowers to someone, he would go into the flower shop himself, and the flowers he chose wouldn’t be such ordinary roses...

Jason Wood had sent her flowers today in Howard Geoffrey’s name, probably out of habit. However, even if it was really under his orders, she wouldn’t be as foolish as before. After all, she knew better than anyone else that such ordinary roses could never compare to the expensive and noble Louis XIV.

Upon returning to the Geoffrey residence, Becca initially wanted to go to her room to take a shower, but she didn’t expect to see the person she least wanted to see in her room.

However, she didn’t let such emotions show on her face. She still acted like the well-behaved woman he had trained her to be, taking the initiative to greet him, "Um, you’re back..."

He walked to the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of red wine, ignoring her.

Cursing him in her heart, Becca pretended not to be angry and just stood quietly to the side.

He sat on the sofa, swirling the wine in his glass, then his gaze fixed on her.

Being stared at by him felt as if she were being stripped naked by him all over again. She deliberately avoided his eyes and said in a slightly submissive tone, "I’m sorry. Last time, it was because I was too worried about my dad’s situation that I disobeyed your orders and sneaked out... I’m grateful that you ultimately helped my father."

Howard Geoffrey took a sip of wine and suddenly smiled. "You’re very smart. You constantly think about torturing me with all sorts of punishments in your heart, yet you manage to endure it and pretend to be well-behaved to please me!"

"That’s because Mr. Geoffrey has ’trained’ me well." Since the truth was out in the open, there was no need for her to continue to compromise, so she laid her cards on the table. "I wonder what instructions Mr. Geoffrey has for me today?"

After experiencing the pain of nearly suffocating when he choked her, it seemed she could no longer feign the obedience she had maintained for the past few months in his presence.

Howard Geoffrey didn’t argue with her and simply said, "Pack your things. We’re going back to America tonight."

America, after all, boasted the world’s best doctors and advanced medical technology, making it the ideal place for her pregnancy.

She absently touched her stomach and shrugged. "Do whatever you want. I don’t have the right to refuse anyway."

Hang in there, Becca. Just bear it for another five months, and you’ll be completely free...

"Very well."

He seemed very pleased with her current obedience.

Now, in a deliberately sarcastic tone, she said, "Sorry, I just got back from the hospital and haven’t showered yet. I’d like to take one. Would Mr. Geoffrey approve?"

"As you wish."

Becca then turned and headed straight for the bathroom.

At this moment, Howard Geoffrey also stood up and left the room.

Only after hearing the door click shut did Becca lean weakly against the bathroom door, biting her lip tightly.

Am I really going to America?

She remembered him saying similar words to her before. The last time, they were both playing games with each other. He said he was going to take her to America to introduce her to his mother and have her stay there during her pregnancy. At that time, for a moment, she had actually wanted to believe him...

Now it seems he never forgot about taking me to America. But what exactly is he planning?

At that moment, the butler was packing Becca’s luggage.

Since they were taking Howard Geoffrey’s private jet, Becca didn’t have to worry about any issues with flying while pregnant or about potential delays.

The butler was meticulous, packing almost all of Becca’s daily necessities into the suitcase. He was mainly concerned that Becca, accustomed to things from T City, might find it difficult to adjust in America.

Roye and Jason Wood also came, acting as driver and bodyguard, responsible for taking Becca to the airport.

After everything was ready, Becca went to the balcony and decided to call Aunt Clare.

"What? You’re going to America?"

Hearing what Becca said, Aunt Clare was extremely shocked on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, his mother wants to meet me, so he wants me to go to America to accompany her and also to ensure a safe pregnancy..." Because of him, I’m telling more and more lies, she reflected.

Aunt Clare was silent for a moment, then asked, "Miss, can I meet you?"

Unexpectedly, Becca decisively agreed this time.

"Yes, I’ll be at the Geoffrey residence waiting for you." Becca felt that regardless of Howard Geoffrey’s current approval, she had to meet Aunt Clare. It was born of reluctance to part and the need for a final farewell.

"Alright."

「Forty minutes later.」

Aunt Clare arrived at the Geoffrey residence.

It seemed to be Aunt Clare’s first time at the Geoffrey residence, so while sitting in the living room, she couldn’t help but look around curiously.

Becca held Aunt Clare’s hand and laughed. "Anyone who didn’t know better would think this is your first time seeing a wealthy family’s home."

"I just want to see the environment you’ve lived in for the past two years," Aunt Clare said truthfully.

As it turned out, Howard Geoffrey’s wealth was leagues beyond the Quentin family’s.

Take the paintings on the walls, for example. The Quentin family displayed antique works from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Howard Geoffrey, however, had oil paintings by world-renowned masters from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

"After I married him, he had the place specially redecorated for me. Look, this area, that one, and over there—I designed them all myself." What Becca said was true; she had indeed received such treatment when she first married Howard Geoffrey.

Looking at Becca’s radiant eyes, Aunt Clare still asked doubtfully, "Miss, is he really that good to you?"

At that moment, the butler brought two cups of hot tea and said warmly and attentively, "Mrs. Geoffrey, Aunt Clare, please enjoy."

Seeing such a kind butler, Aunt Clare put down her tea and asked, "Is everyone in the Geoffrey household this respectful to you?"

Becca playfully replied, "I’m their mistress. How could they possibly treat me badly?"

"Miss..." Aunt Clare suddenly called out her name, her voice heavy with meaning.

"Hmm?" Becca leisurely stirred the herbal tea beside her.

"Are you sure you want to go to America with Mr. Geoffrey?"

"Of course. He’s already waiting for me in the car outside."

Aunt Clare tentatively asked, "Has... has he shown any unusual behavior towards you lately?"

Becca calmly replied, "No, what could be unusual? He even discussed going to America with me well in advance."

"Not even a little?"

"No."

Aunt Clare frowned slightly. Why is it like this? Are Howard Geoffrey and Miss really together? Did he not threaten her?
